"That's fair and if they're people then I guess some of them would go out of their way to make trouble."

"They are, yeah, sometimes dead people turn into them instead."

"Wait... do some people start as Daeva instead of living elsewhere and dying first?"

"Yeah, most of them aren't dead people, just a few."

"I wouldn't have expected that given the first reference I had to where they live was as better afterlives."

"I mean, they're afterlives, and better, but yeah, most people there just kind of pop into existence."

"Huh, interesting... I feel like if your world is a vacation universe my first guess would be that that's how the visitors show up. It still doesn't feel likely though."

"I mean, I guess it does sound like kind of a nice vacation. But they never, like, leave. They're indestructible like we are."

"I don't know enough to know if it's plausible but I would expect people leaving could be covered up as moving to a different part of the world. Especially with a large population."

"- nah, the demons would notice. I mean, I wouldn't, so maybe the demons are constantly going 'why do daeva keep disappearing for no reason' and just haven't told me, but they would notice."

"Why them specifically?"

"Because they can make stuff, so if someone is gone they'll notice trying to make them-and-where-they're-at-now doesn't work, I think?"

"That's.... a lot more flexible than I was expecting. Do they have any limitations at all?"

"I... assume so?"

"Fair enough, maybe the museum I was headed to in Hereafter will have that information. Otherwise, maybe I can talk to an actual Demon in a concordance."

"Oh, you won't be able to do that, people don't go into the concordances anymore. The thing opens up and they send a bullet train through and it just keeps going the entire time so it's all on this side when the window closes. It's the size of the concordance itself."

"Well there goes my plan to see if I can use a teleporter to bypass the restriction on people going through a concordance."

"... you have teleporters?"

"Multiple kinds actually. There's three potions that teleport you, a few devices that are similar and then the actual devices that when connected allow for teleportation between them."

"Oh, those would be game-changing. Mostly to get around in Limbo you have to walk. It takes so long."

"Yeah, the placed devices are the most predictable, sometimes in inconvenient ways though, if you connect three or more together only two of them do anything unless you get really fancy."

"So probably what you'd want to do is have a bunch of them in Hereafter all connected to different towns?"

"Either that or a loop. Everytime you activate one the animate entities above each linked teleporter are moved to another teleporter in the link."

"Animate entities? Does it make you leave all your stuff behind?"

"No, anything you're carrying or wearing comes with you. Animate entities is just the best term I could think of that includes animals, monsters and people."
